On August 11, 2026 at 22:29 UTC, a magnitude 4.5 intermediate depth earthquake struck 12 km ENE of Landázuri, Colombia, at a depth of 116.7 km and coordinates 6.2416°, -73.7019°. This earthquake was detected by 26 seismic stations with excellent location accuracy and was assigned a USGS significance rating of 312, placing it among routine seismic activity.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.5 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 85 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 767 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
